UFC 254's Justin Gaethje opponent, Khabib Nurmagomedov received a fee of US $ 10 million
Good night all. Khabib Nurmagomedov reportedly will receive a fee of US $ 10 million or equivalent to Rp146 billion in the UFC 254 duel against Justin Gaethje at Fight Island, Abu Dhabi. The Eagle, nicknamed Khabib, will set a record salary in his career and also the UFC in the fight this weekend.
Some reports say, the 32-year-old fighter will receive a base salary of US $ 10 million from the fight later. That figure would be a record pay at the UFC. Khabib's pay against Gaethje will be bigger if you add pay per view and a number of bonuses at UFC 254.
The report says Khabib earned US $ 6 million when he beat Dustin Poirier in a belt-winning duel in 2019. This is three times what he received when he beat McGregor at UFC 229 with only US $ 2 million. McGregor is called the richest fighter in the UFC. The Irish fighter was paid US $ 3 million in the fight against Khabib and Donald Cerrone.
Khabib appeared in UFC 254 with an unbeaten record in 12 fights at UFC, or a total of 28 wins in MMA, while Gaethje won four at UFC.
